I do not agree. We need users of both types.
And the more users we have, the more smart users will join.

But I am not convinced by Amir's strategy to achieve that goal.
Sticking too close to LaTeX maintains the widespread confusion that
we are just a LaTeX front-end. I think that it is interesting to
highlight features where TeXmacs is substantially different and better,
and to make this part of the learning process as early as possible.
